Description

"Beautiful, spooky, and emotional." —Kirkus

"Excruciatingly heart-wrenching and deeply affecting, drawn with nostalgia and care." --Booklist, starred review

"Supernatural suspense keeps readers on their toes while complex characterizations create fodder for nuanced and empathetic discussion surrounding mental health stigma and bullying." -- Publishers Weekly

"A bold accomplishment that provides an unflinching yet compassionate look at schizoaffective disorder, and how love can help those living with it." - School Library Journal

In this lush and romantic queer horror graphic novel, a troubled teen disappears from his small town—sending his loved ones on a paranormal journey to bring him home.

Noah is heartbroken. He returns from Bible camp to find that Alex, his secret boyfriend, has had a breakdown and disappeared. He wishes more than anything that he hadn’t left that day.
 
Sky is determined.
She’ll stop at nothing to find her childhood friend, even if it means alienating the people she loves.
 
Izzy is ashamed.
She knew something weird was going on with Alex, and she didn’t say anything to her boyfriend, Jamie—Alex’s twin brother. If she had, would Alex still be here?
 
Jamie is angry.
Angry at Alex for being gone, angry at himself for not noticing something was wrong, and angry at his long-dead mother, Desdemona, who had problems of her own.

But what if there was something more to Desdemona’s demons? Why is Jamie seeing her ghost? And can he get past his hatred of her if it means finding out what happened to his brother?

i believe the message this book is trying to teach is overly important, and people should talk about it, because talking about mental health is not tabbo, it's not a bad thing, and we should normalize not feeling 100% ourselves, withouth feeling guilty. the overall story is important, is powerful.

however, this was impossible to read, and believe me, i tried. every single one of the formats netgalley offers you showed me this graphic novel in the grainiest version possible. i spent the entire time i spent reading this graphic novel squinting my eyes and trying to figure out what the words said.
